Choir Competition Strikes A Sour Note

More than 80 people were sickened by food poisoning at a recent choir competition at Papillion-La Vista High School in eastern Nebraska.

Nebraska State epidemiologist Tom Safranek said investigators traced the problem to improperly handled meat that had been cooked at someone's home, but Safranek did not say if the outbreak was Norovirus, Salmonella or possibly Shigella.


Stories in the Omaha World Herald and by The Associated Press said the foodborne illness outbreak at the choir competition was clearly not related to an outbreak of Salmonella in eastern Nebraska that health investigators are still probing. In that case, 14 people have been sickened by the same Salmonella strain -- different from the peanut butter Salmonella outbreak now in 44 states.


Hundreds of students participated in the day-long competition on Feb. 21. Safranek said food for the event came from multiple sources, including professional caterers and the homes of volunteers. Those in attendance included students from Waconia, Minnesota and Sioux City, Iowa.
